Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?

In Ontario, chiropractors are considered primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specifics.

Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most residents. There may be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, which is rare for private practices. Patients should verify their private insurance coverage.

How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint issues—chiropractic care may be beneficial. Schedule an initial consultation where the chiropractor can assess your condition, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be better suited for your needs.

Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, our clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Please bring your insurance card and details, and confirm your coverage with your insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. Any co-payments or amounts not covered are the patient’s responsibility.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns such as posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, supporting spinal health during growth, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be helpful.
